Will start a Hyde DNA project, need help.
Inspite of my Japanese name, I am descended from a number of American east coast families, including the Hyde family.
I am fairly fortunate in belonging to a lineage which is faily easy to trace through the records to the mid-17th century in Virginia. However, Hyde was a surname that was not not uncommon and which had (and has) a fairly wide geographic spread throughout the English-speaking world. We should expect to find many unrelated Hyde lineages, even among families who lived in close proximity with each other. This fact, combined with the fact the survival and quality of official records before the 19th century is often quite poor, means that even those records that do survive are often virtually meaningless due to a lack of historical context.
In order to make a stab at rectifying this situation and putting Hyde surname studies on a more scientific basis than has hitherto been possible, I am proposing a project of the nature of one I am doing for the Cotten/on families. Last year, with the cooperation of three other individuals (of whom, one is no longer alive), I started a y-chromosome signature project of people having a male-line Cotten/on descent. It has already proved itself to be of great value to the participants and has significantly refined the nature of those Cotten/on genealogical studies which center on the southeastern United States.
I need volunteers who will undergo the necessary DNA testing and share their results with me for immediate inclusion into my website on a separate Hyde page. For further information, please refer to my website at "http://family.nf". Although everything deals with a different set of surnames, the style and methodology would be exactly the same for a Hyde Y-Chromosome Signature Table. If you have any questions, please contact me either on this genealogy forum or directly at my e-mail address "[email protected]". Thank you.
